Ingredients

• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 large carrot, julienned
• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove from skillet, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and unsalted butter. Once melted, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, dried thyme, and the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the sauce to become creamy.

Step 9

Add the peas and julienned carrot to the sauce. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 10

Toss the cooked egg noodles and sliced chicken into the sauce, stirring to combine and coat everything evenly.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
